Macbook Air i5/128/8 for computer science?
So I'm thinking of getting MB air for college. Can't afford the 256 GB model, nor the pros.
My college classes might require me to install Linux or Windows along with MacOs. Is 128 GB enough to run both MacOs and either of Linux or widows? And also the projects I'll be doing in class? And are the overall specs enough to run 2 OSs?
